compatible with Intel Smart Response Technology ?

Hi,
I'm a long term user of BootIt NG, it doing great so far, however now more and more weird things are starting to happen.
2 Questions.
1) Since my current motherboard (Gigabyte Z68-UD4-B3) no longer has a floppy connector, I have been struggling enormously with reinstalling EVERYTHING.
I need to reinstall all primary partitions from scratch. I have installed my first OS (Windows7 32bit Home Premiumà and installing BiNG was a first pain, with the USB-xxxxx methods used by the BIOS, and once the thing did let me install BiNG, BiNG could not save its settings after installation.
So I continued without the backup, but then BiNG showed a blank "HD0" as the first HD, so configuring Partition Work is impossible afaik, since when I will remove the USB stick, that "HDO" will be going, and all settings will be wrong.
So, I had to write it on a CD, same thing happens.
So now, I don't know if I'm going to be able to re-activate BiNG once I create a second primary and install a 2nd OS the first HD.
Please, if someone knows how to handle this "Boot from USB-stick to install" situation, or where I can find valuable info ?
2) I'm thinking about using the Intel Smart Response Technology to cache frequently used data on the primary partition.
For this to work, the BIOS need to be set to RAID instead of IDE as a first step, so how will BiNG handle this different situation ?
What needs to be changed in the BiNG settings and BiNG Boot Menu ?
But as a primary Q, it might be better simply to know if it's possible to use BootIT NG when your using Intel SRT in the 1st place ?
Thanks for any help i can get.
